Kiyomizu-dera, a temple founded in 798

| An occidental artist once commented that
Japanese architecture is "wood and paper art". The interweaving of
wood and paper indeed possesses a delicate beauty, which is short-lived and easily
ravaged by heartless fire, wind and snow. However, in Kyoto, precious evidence
of the changes and developments in architecture spanning the Fujiwara era to the
end of the Edo era remains in abundance. |
